Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in generations all.
Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which I ever may resort: Thou gav'st commandment me to save, for thou'rt my rock and fort.
He that doth in the secret place of the most High reside, Under the shade of him that is th' Almighty shall abide.
Because the Lord, who constantly my refuge is alone, Ev'n the most High, is made by thee thy habitation;
God's mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall Thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all.
